Uzbek ethnic group
The name has not yet been determined, and we are waiting for partners to bring the project to life.
This will be an ethno-rock band singing in the Uzbek language, playing newly created electronic instruments of the Uzbek people in the future, along with modern percussion instruments.
Some of Uzbek national instruments:
Dutar
Dutar is a long-necked plucked string instrument with two strings (the name literally means “two strings”). It is a classical plucked string instrument of Central Asia and is especially widespread among Uzbeks. It has a wooden body and a long, thin neck. The musician produces sound by plucking or fingerpicking the strings.
Character: soft, melodic, and expressive tone. It is often used in traditional music and as accompaniment for vocal performances.


Rubab
Rubab is an ancient plucked string instrument, related to the lute, with a short neck and a rounded body. In the Uzbek musical tradition, it usually has several main melodic strings and sometimes additional sympathetic strings, producing a bright and rich sound. The playing technique is plucking, using a plectrum or fingers. It is often performed solo or as part of an ensemble.
